D.C. has more residents than two U.S. states. They pay more per capita in federal taxes than any other state. But they don’t get a serious seat at the table to decide how they’re governed. D.C. statehood now.

Happy 235th Birthday, DC! On 7/16/1790 the permanent location of our nation’s capital was established when the Residence Act became law. Fun Fact: James Madison was one of the first advocates for DC home rule. DC residents have been fighting for local autonomy for 200+ years.

Republicans talk a big game about limited government, yet they jump at every opportunity to intervene in D.C.’s local matters. Oversight Dems and Acting Ranking Member @RepStephenLynch adamantly oppose the three oppressive bills Republicans are forcing on D.C. this week.

As #Republicans seek to dismantle our democracy, I’m proud that the #Democratic party is recommitting to support #DCStatehood. The proposed #platform language that delegates will vote on at upcoming @DemConvention in #Chicago is clear, unequivocal and strong.

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and resilience. In 1862, DC freed over 3,000 enslaved people, leading the way for emancipation. Yet, DC residents still lack full representation. This Juneteenth, let’s honor the past by fighting for #DCStatehood !#Juneteenth #EqualityForDC
